Changes in U.S. trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs and the resulting consequences, may have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Previous report

The recent imposition by the United States of tariffs, sanctions and other restrictions on goods imported into the United States, and countermeasures imposed by foreign countries in response to such government actions, if not significantly and promptly moderated or eliminated, is expected to increase the cost of goods for our products or reduce our ability to sell products globally, which may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. The ultimate impact of these trade measures on our business operations and financial results is uncertain and may be affected by various factors, including whether and when such trade measures are implemented, the timing of when such measures may become effective, and the amount, scope, or nature of such trade measures, and our ability to execute strategies to mitigate the negative impacts.

Previous report

Additionally, the U.S. government has adopted new approaches to trade policy and in some cases, may renegotiate, or potentially abrogate, certain existing bilateral or multi-lateral trade agreements. The U.S. government has also imposed significant, additional tariff increases to capture other countries and types of foreign goods. Such current and future tariff increases, expanding tariffs to capture other countries and types of foreign goods or other changes in U.S. trade policy, if not significantly and promptly moderated or eliminated, is expected to make it more difficult or costly for us to procure necessary materials and equipment to conduct our business as a manufacturer and supplier of engineered materials and components, and may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

Previous report

In addition, in response to tariffs, other countries have implemented retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods. The imposition of retaliatory (or new) tariffs on the sale of U.S. goods into foreign countries, if not significantly and promptly moderated or eliminated, may result in a reduction in our net sales in foreign markets, which may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

Previous report

Political tensions as a result of trade policies could reduce trade volume, investment, technological exchange, and other economic activities between major international economies, resulting in a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, which could, in turn, have a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition.
